Tadahide,
Novagen sells a biotinylated-thrombin for attachment to streptavidin
beads. We have it but have not used it much (no particular reason).
Another possibility, using the normal thrombin, is to use affinity
chromatography to remove the thrombin post-cleavage reaction. This can
be accomplished with a couple of products which we have purchased from
Sigma: benzamidine conjugated to agarose beads
anti-thrombin on a resin bead
comapred to the Novagen product, these aren't all that expensive.
Best of luck,
